Message from Ruthie
Dear Sisters,
I think January was a great start for the new year. Our first Relief Society Meeting, Sister WHO?, made it a lot of fun getting to know one another better.
We aren't going to miss a beat during February even though we had lots of snow. Hopefully we have gotten a little rest and are ready to pull up our sleeves and go! Our first lesson goes right with this month's visiting teaching message. I was amazed when I read it because it fits so perfectly with our theme for 2011! As a presidency, we prayerfully thought about a theme for this year. We were prompted to use the Relief Society Declaration. So this year we are going to learn to be united, love one another, have faith and rely on the Lord, our Savior. This will increase our testimonies and strengthen our families in the process.
We are so excited to be a part of the Fayetteville 2nd Ward Relief Society and be in the company of our sisters. Thank you for being the spirited bunch you are!

We are beloved spirit daughters of God, and our lives have meaning, purpose, and direction. As a worldwide sisterhood, we are united in our devotion to Jesus Christ, our Savior, and Exemplar. We are women of faith, virtue, vision, and charity who:
Increase our testimonies of Jesus Christ through prayer and scripture study
See spiritual strenth by following the promptings of the Holy Ghost
Dedicate ourselves to strengthening marriages, families, and homes
Find nobility in motherhood and joy in womanhood
Delight in service and good works
Love life and learning
Stand for truth and righteousness
Sustain the priesthood as the authority of God on earth
Rejoice in the blessings of the temple, understand our divine destiny, and strive for exaltation.
We are so excited to be a part of the Fayetteville 2nd Ward Relief Society and be in the company of our sisters. Thank you for being the spirited bunch you are!
